Hey Las Cruces,

This is ❤️ Live Love Las Cruces, we’re like your favorite enchiladas – comforting, flavorful, and always satisfying.

Ordinary Elephant 🐘 is coming to town….

And all proceeds go to benefit local charities 😃 

Ordinary Elephant will be in town this Friday Sept 20th. This husband & wife folk duo consisting of Crystal and Pete Damore will be in town at Cruces Creatives.

Ordinary Elephant is known for their intimate folk music featuring gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork.

Their sound is described as a stripped-down, pure distillation showcasing arresting vocal harmonies accompanied by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin.

And their performances are characterized as transportive, fueled by their captivating vocal delivery and mesmerizing instrumental work.
